2. PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKLIST
2.1 Purpose of the Product
The heating cable is designed to prevent the formation of ice deposits on roofs.
Do not install heating cables to remove already-formed ice deposits or to clear
the roof of ice and snow. Do not use heating cables for any other purpose, for
example, to melt snow on sidewalks or to protect pipes from freezing. We offer
other products designed for these purposes. Consult a professional roofer for
expert advice.
1.10 Do not install the heating cable where it may be subjected to additional
heating, for example, near ventilation, exhaust openings or a chimney.
1.11 Do not paint the cable or expose it to chemicals such as adhesives or
sealants.
1.12 Keep all combustible materials, such as leaves and branches, away from the
heating cable. Do not install heating cables on wooden parts of the structure
(cannot be used on wooden shingles).
1.14 Do not use a damaged or corrupt heating cable.
Signs of damage include cuts, brittleness, carbonization, cracking, surface dis-
coloration, and bare wires.
